Abstract

This article tackles some of the most relevant postulates in the controversial and notorious presentation “Regeln für den Menschenpark”, lectured by German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk in July 1999, as related to certain appeal for a renewal of the Humanist ideal in Librarianship launched both from within and without thereof over the past decades.
